Specifying a Security Realm
Administration Guide 14-37
Installing a Custom Security Realm
You can create a custom security realm that draws from an existing store of Users such
as directory server on the network. To use a custom security realm, you create an
implementation of the
weblogic.security.acl.AbstractListableRealm
interface or the
weblogic.security.acl.AbstractManageableRealm interface
and then use the Administration Console to install your implementation.
To install a custom security realm:
1. Go to the Security
→Realms node in the left pane of the Administration Console.
2. In the right pane of the Administration Console, click the Configure a New
Custom Realm link.
3. Define a name for the custom security realm, specify the interface that
implements the realm, and define how the Users, Groups, and optionally ACLs
are stored in the custom security realm on the Configuration window.
The following table describes the attributes you set on the Custom Security
Realm Configuration window.
4. To save your changes, click the Create button.
5. When you have finished defining the attributes, reboot WebLogic Server.
